LPL Financial is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Membership provides protection for customer accounts up to $500,000, of which $250,000 may be claims for cash, in the unlikely event that LPL Financial were to fail financially. (For an explanatory brochure, visit www.sipc.org.) Moreover, LPL Financial accounts have additional securities protection to cover the net equity of client accounts up to an overall aggregate firm limit of $575,000,000, subject to conditions and limitations. This coverage is underwritten by London Insurers through the Lloyds of London syndicates. Account protection applies when a SIPC member firm fails financially and is unable to meet its obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against losses from the rise and fall in the market value of investments. This extensive coverage reflects a strong commitment to serving your investment needs.
